Reverse Missiles / not an "attack"

Critical Successes let you do the improbable, even the extremely improbable but not the impossible.

Each GM runs their own game of course but an 'archer's' skill does not negate a magical effect.

If an 'archer' rolled a 3 attempting to shoot a mage protected by a Force Dome spell I would not have the 'arrow' pass through and hit the mage.

I do not see a substantial difference with Reverse Missiles.

There are extant counters and tactics to deal with mages, this spell IMHO is no different nor do I see a reason to treat it differently.

But as always Rule #1 is it's the GM's game.
